The Battle of Carineo

Patton Hodges had a strategic vision that was superior to what Montgomery and Bradley were thinking of the market garden. Patton's idea was to cross the line with a narrow frost and to shock the Germans and make a grand loop. He saved us at the battle of the bolt, even then, he was thinking, you don't push a bolt at its tip, like pushing, you know, a plastic knob,. You don't push it from the back end, you cut it off at the base. And so they had strategic ideas of how to defeat the enemy in Sherman. They worked in tandem and politically when they asked, Sherman was more popular in 1864 than Grant.
